    Some Praise for a Cheap Chicken Coop

    This small coop was purchased 6 years ago at the beginning of my chicken keeping adventures. It houses two to three standard size Wyandotte chickens, which is enough to keep two people in more eggs than we can eat. This coop is very well designed. You can access it all, cleaning it is easy...

    Curing Gleet

    Gleet is a fungal infection in chickens that causes a messy vent area with white yucky looking stuff and sticky feathers around their butts. I'm sure it's not fun for the chickens and ALL my hens had it pretty bad. Feeling it had to be related to something wrong with their nutrition, I let them...

    Comment by 'CollieFeathers' in article 'The Renaissance - "A" Frame Tractor Coop'

    Just an update on how this coop is doing. This past summer, had to polyurethane everything on it. Have decided that's just a good thing to do to help coops last. Also will probably redo how the roof is held on the top of the frame. I'll add hinges to the peak and have the roof panels be able to...

    Speckledhen's Ten Commandments of Good Flock Management

    Thank you for that list speckledhen. Have a great tip for catching a chicken. A $15 fish net with an extendable aluminum handle and nylon net. Like this one. These are great because the chicken doesn't get tangled or caught in the netting. Haven't had to extend the handle yet either.

    Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

    Art is so proud of her chicks. So far she has hatched three. One splash and two blue Barnevelders. You can see a tiny wing flapping to get under her feathers on her right side.

    I think she's OK. Just very dedicated to hatching those eggs. She must be drinking and eating a little because she's been broody for about a week now and she's still alive.

    I don't think she's doing this. The water and food is not touched and no poop in the kennel. She's alive and spaced out but I don't think she has even moved.

    Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

    My Barnevelder blue double laced hen, named Art, decided to go broody 4 days ago. She is two years old. Yesterday I put her in her own apartment with the eggs and water and food available. She is SO spaced out in meditation mode. Do they just not drink or eat while broody?

    Muddy run! Help please!

    After getting this muddy situation straightened out, my chickens need a serious bath.

    Muddy run! Help please!

    After awhile of using this method, do you eventually deep clean the coop, move the coop (it's a large permanent coop so would be difficult) or just keep the composting up, adding materials?

    My avatar has a photo of a splash chick (hen). Her butt anyway.
